2010 Verdelho $20.00 (new release) Again sourced from Ballandean fruit. The nose features fresh fruit characters of pineapple and passionfruit. The wine is made in a crisp acid driven style that makes a great refreshing drink. This is an unwooded, drink now wine that invites itself to lunch, especially after you have climbed the Pyramids! Try it chilled with sashimi tuna - it's a great match. Total production: 90 dozen |

2009 Chardonnay $20.00 (new release) Our first Chardonnay. This wine is made from fruit sourced from Jeff Harden in Ballandean. Matured in a combination of 75% stainless steel and 25% new French oak, both on lees for 9 months prior to bottling. A fresh modern style of chardonnay with crisp acidity and clean citrus and pineapple flavours. Try it chilled with pan fried whiting fillets. Enjoy!

2008 Merlot $22.00 Continuing
in our fruit driven style, this Merlot has the classic characters
of ripe cherries and plums with bright crimson hues. It features fine
soft tannins with juicy sweet fruit flavours. Minimal oak treatment
has enhanced the delicate varietal characters. Delicious now and given
good conditions will suit short term cellaring. Serve with Swiss brown
mushrooms, grilled haloumi, eggplant and dried tomato, wrapped in
proscuitto with truffle and parsnip mash. |

2008 Cabernet Sauvignon $25.00 (new release) This 3 barrel blend
is made from 100% estate grown fruit. Rich, ripe cabernet fruit gives
intense varietal characters of spearmint and blackberry. 20 months in
quality French oak contributes subtle spice and vanilla characters.
Our Cabernets really need a couple of years in the bottle to hit their
straps so those who can keep this wine stashed in a suitable place for
at least a couple of years will be well rewarded. Serve with marinated
lamb rump and Mediterranean vegetables. |

2008 Shiraz $30.00 (new release) This wine is made from 100% estate grown fruit. A combination of new and one year old American and French oak shows vanilla and coconut on the bouquet. A rich wine with elegant structure, fine tannin and good length make this wine very easy to drink. Great drinking now but will reward those who can keep it for at least a few years. This wine will show its best if decanted. Enjoy! Total Production: 150 dozen.

2009 MourvedreLimited
Release Hail thinned
our crop in 2009 so this is a blend of our own fruit and some Mourvedre
locally grown by Sam Costanzo in Ballandean. It shows the classic varietal
characters of spice and vibrant dark fruit paired with a fine persistent
tannin structure. It's a great expression of the fruit characters of
this variety. Maturation in a combination of French and American oak
has added complexity without dominating the fruit. Delicious now but
has plenty of ageing potential if you can keep it away from your mates
for a few years! This is our StrangeBird wine. If you have not heard of the Granite Belt StrangeBird trail, please visit the website. www.strangebird.com.au |

2008 Bernies Blend $35.00
Bernies Blend is dedicated
to Bernie, father of Warren the winemaker, whose help and encouragement
have assisted greatly in the establishment of Pyramids Road Wines. This
4 barrel blend is a selection of some of the best barrels from our 2008
vintage. The combination of two barrels of Cabernet Sauvignon and two
barrels of Shiraz with a mix of new French and American oak gives a wine
of remarkable character, just like its namesake. Intense dark berry flavours
combine with subtle toasty oak to give a wine with real depth and complexity.
While drinking well now it will reward those who can put it away for at
least a few years. Serve with rib fillet rolled in herbs and porcini mushrooms. |
